To borrow a Biblical reference, is "Jolt" set in stone?
It's never a great idea to go into acronym formation with a closed mind. It is probably best to throw a load of related terms into a pot as it were and see if there are any combinations which jump out at you.

Obviously you only say "church" so we don't even know what denomination - I'm going to assume that you're talking about a Christian Church, and that the 'J' would optimally be "Jesus".

JOLT doesn't offer anything particularly 'youth-oriented', unfortunately. 'Teenager' would be a good 'T' word, so if you could gift the older children the JOLT name you could start again. ;-)

I'd like to offer JOKERS
Jesus-Oriented Kids Enjoying Religous Studies.
(I know 'joke' and 'religion' don't spring to mind together too often, but it has a certain appeal, I feel.)

JOLT
Jesus Oriented Little Terrors  --- :-)
Juveniles Organized Learning Theology
"Just One's" Lifetime Teachings
(I'm not sure about referring to Jesus as the "Just One", it's not that it doesn't fit Him, but there are more common names.)
